Fade In Professional Screenwriting Software is the most advanced software used by professionals writing for motion pictures, television, video games, the stage, radio, and more.

Why use screenwriting software?

Because you're writing a screenplay — or a teleplay or stage play or any other kind of script. And while you could try and do it in Word (or Pages, or even a basic text editor like Notepad or TextEdit) there are some things — lots and lots of things, actually — that only proper screenwriting software can do. That's where Fade In comes in.

One application. For everything your screenplay needs. From start to finish.
